Spouse and I: Would be nice to have a bookshelf in the dining room.
IKEA Billy was $70, nearest store was an hour plus round trip plus bridge toll. Target was around the corner and like $40. We have several Billys, they’re great, but convenience called. All of the saved time was spent assembling. Then we got it upright and the damn thing is crooked. The only lateral support was the paperboard tacked onto the back. Dissembled it. Returned it. Bought a Billy. Zero issues.
You don’t know about measuring stuff and need six hours to assemble one measly cupboard?
Is this a cartoon?
6 hours with instructions where even simple things are mis-spelled? (“Fornt!”) Yeah. Flat pack is incredibly infuriating.
ikea flat pack is great. sounds like you bought cheap garbage
